This album feels like no-wave, if it drifted a little more toward prog rock. Kinda goofy singing, but spirited; instrumental passages, and none of it very noisy, but more weird. Recommended for cocktail hour.

Usine81, the track listing is on Discogs!

Great stuff! Least the first 2 tracks are....who were/are the artists in question? The sound is the most important thing of course, great to see the cover too, but I'd love to know who's performing etc.... This archive is brilliant reminds me of art college post-punk days when cassette culture ruled

would it be possible to get a WAV file for Side A?
thanks

It really makes one happy when people are this kind, uploading this content and more. This one is great too!

This is outstanding tape for sure.

Three words:

Just. Simply. Awesome.

This collection has a wide range of electronic stuff, and a bunch of cool avant garde pieces. Really recommend it!

This whole Noise Arch collection is just amazing!
